I thought you’d treat me well

Seeing I treated others well

I thought you’d heal my scars

Seeing I have come this far

I thought you’d bestow on me bliss

And make me dine at your table in peace

While I drink of you and forget my worries

I thought you’d give me a place to lay my head

And hide me from the rest of the world

I thought you were all I needed

Since this first commandment I have heeded

 

But you took me prisoner

You built a cage and locked up my heart

Now it sinks in me

This is song of my imprisoned heart

Caged in the web of love!

 

WHAT IF….

What if I had been a boy?

I probably wouldn’t be so coy

What if I hadn’t been me?

I’d be somewhere wishing I were me

What if I hadn’t taken that job?

I probably wouldn’t have found what I love

What if I hadn’t taken his ring?

Guilt would forever in my head ring

What if I hadn’t taken that road?

I might spend the entire journey searching for purpose

What if all the ‘what ifs’ happened

I’d still be here wondering what if.
